In the Police Court.

Yesterday morning the police paid a
visit to the City Hotel and found one
John McLaughton who, it will be re-
membered, figured so conspicuously in
an assault and battery case last winter,
and Roy Gallagher, lady not to fame
unknown, occupying the same bed The
Marshal wanted them to accompany
him to police headquarters to answer to
a charge of leWdness. At first they de =
INJURED and the man tried to talk the
Marshal out of his notion, but without
avail. Then McLaughton tried to settle
with the Marshal without having the
case come into court, and finding every
thing else of no avail, asked if it would
make any difference if he married the
girl.
Finally, however, The sent for L. R..
Rogers and concluded to fight the case.
Accordingly the case came up in the
Police Court yesterday afternoon, and
after some fighting between counsel a
at 2 o'clock. Before the case went
over, however, Mr.. Rogers concluded to
to have couple of witnesses examined.
Mr.. II. Young and P. Mcdonald were
according sworn, and testified that
Mclaughlin had introduced the dash
ing Roy TO them as his wife some three
or four months ago. There seems to
be considerable latent interest in this
case, which will probably be brought
out at the trial to-day. The court was
thronged by an unusually large number
OF spectators.

HENRY SMELL, of Salt Lake, was in

THE little Ne,os of this city, seems to
be hard up for sensation. 1t may
possibly get one that it don't like, if it
keeps on long enough.
THE. LIBERALS received rather "cold
comfort" from the results of theBrigham
City election. Their hopes and fears
are settled and they viii now have to
content themselves with cries of perjury
or anything else their imasihations
may suggest.
THE election in Brigham City Mon
day furnished a good opportunity for
the Liberals to test their favorlte theory
in relation TO the new law. If Nor
mon swearing to obey the laws is per-
jury, there will probably be several
convictions follow.
Jos, A. WEST has just signed lease
for the old Skating Rink property and
proposes to open a livery; feed and sale
stable in the immediate future. There
seems TO be very good opening for
such an enterprise and Mr.. West will
undoubtedly make q complete success
of the venture.
TIE deputies made a rather unex-
pected haul in Brigham City on Mon
day. A man named Dunn whom the
deputies did not want, saw them COM
ing and started to leave. The officers
seeing him running away, suddenly
came to the conclusion that they did
want him and halted him. Mr.. Dunn
returned and owned up to being one of
the numerous gentlemen that the Of
ticers take such especial delight in hunt
ing. He was brought TO Ogden, arriv-
ing about a. N. yesterday.

They Will, En-?

The oath prescribed by the Edmunds-
Tucker law has a condition precedent to
voting, holding Office and serving on .juries,
etc., will have to be taken by every office
holder in Utah. The law is now in full
force, and IT says that No person shall hold
any office of trust or emolument in said Ter
ritOry who shall not have taken the oath or
affirmation" The members of the City
Council will have to swear or step down
and out. Row many of them have been
cha lenged on Iurles because they couldn t
allow their consciences to be wren ched by
conVicting pOlygamis.s? Have those mem
bers declared they could not conscientiously
take the oath been "counSeled" to Change
their min and swallow the nauseating
dose? LOOK sharp, brethren, and don't get
yourselves into trouble.
The above is taken from our insight
fcant anti-Mormon print of this city
and only shows the depth to which our
Liberal friends would like to have the
law prostituted for their personal bene-
fit. They pretend to quote the law say
ing no person shall hold any office, etc.,
who shall not have taken the oath or
affirmation, etc. Now tue law does
DOT say any such thing. The act reads:
LAS a condition precedent to the right
to cold Office in or under said Territory
the officer before entering on the duties
of his office, shall take and subscribe an
oath or affirmation" etc. The officers
who have already entered upon the
performance of their duties are not
to take the new oath and
there is no law or precedent that would
justify any one in exacting such pro-
ceeding. More than this, there is no one
who has the right TO demand that an
officer who is already qualified shall
ignore what he has done and go and
qualify anew, because some new oath
happens to be prescribed by statute or
a Commissioner. So far as Our present
City Council is concerned, they have
nothing to do but continue in the per-
Torrance of their duties. and the green
eyed Liberals may rest contented that
they will not get the much-coveted
places.

Lamar, N. C. McQueary, aged so
yeare.
The funeral services took place at
the town hall Tuesday afternoon,
after which the remains were inferred
in our cemetery, Rev. Mr.. Beardsley
officiating. The deceased Was born
at Shelbyville, Indiana, July 22d,
1856, and was married in jackson
county, Missouri, December 7th, 1915,
to Laura Owens. Five years later
his health failed and he moved 10
this state aud in the fall of seventy
four, apparently in good health, he
moved to Dodge City, Kansas, and
later to Hutchinson. Finding his
health again failing he returned to
Colorado last spring and in May
settled on q claim west of town.
About the first of December he
took severe cold which proved to
much for his weak lungs, and after
over two months of suffering, dur
ing which time patient and loving
wife and . most devoted brother
spared no means or their own strength
to alleviate his sufferings, he quietly
passed away surrounded by his sor-
rowing family. The deceased leaves
a wife and two bright children and
. brother here to mourn his loss.
No greater tribute can be paid him
than he was always most kind and
indulgent father, An honest, indus.
trious man and one who WAS Ad-
mired most by those who knew him
best, and this was better shown by
the large number of friends present
At the last sad rites when he was
laid away At the grave. Many times
has it been ssid that n. c. McQuesry
was . good man, and could his soul
but speak now the words would be:
my heavenly home 10 bright and fair:
Nor pain, nor death can enter here;
Its xlistering tovers. the sun outshines.

for passengers, and passengers not
knowing the difference, boarding
the train st Kansas city for Lamar,
were informed about three O'clock in
the morning that they would have
to get off at Coolidge and wait for
the next train. When the next train
is on time this is no great hardship,
but, nevertheless, annoying. How
